Cinnamon Pumpkin Mug Cake Recipe

For this recipe you will need:

-a small mixing bowl

-a whisk

-coconut oil spray

-a microwave safe mug

-a microwave

-a small dessert plate

-a butter knife

Ingredients:

1 pinch of cinnamon OR Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil (if you use the oil, don't add a full drop. Put the bottle against the side of the bowl you are mixing in, just enough for some to come off, or dip a toothpick into it and stir in with ingredients later)

1/4 cup canned pumpkin

1/8 cup almond milk

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup oat flour

1/2 scoop vanilla trim shake

*optional maple syrup

Directions:

Whisk all of your dry ingredients together (except for walnuts or graham cracker), and then add in your wet ingredients. When all of your ingredients are well mixed, spray the inside of your mug with the coconut oil spray. Put the crushed graham crackers in the bottom of your mug, (If you are using walnuts you can add them to the mug now or after it has cooked.)

Pour your mix into the mug and microwave for 1:45 (one minute, forty-five seconds)-2:00 (two minutes). You may or may not need to use a butter knife to help the cake separate from the sides of the mug. Place the dessert plate upsidedown on top of the mug and flip them over so the cake lands inverted onto the plate. Voila! Your pumpkin mug cake!

You can add walnuts to the top. I also drizzled a tiny bit of maple syrup and sprinkled some spices onto mine! I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think!
